On my way to houston today both while still in dallas and once in houston the 4g was like the old gsm edge speeds it seemed while 3g was moving right along just fine. Does the higher frequency of wimax impede its ability to follow ur location compared to 3g?

Not likely, its more the reception you were getting.

Speedtest not working. Anyone else experiencing this. I have yet to run this to test my speeds.

Not sure seems to be working fine for me on my phone. Although got to admit the speeds were crap on the 3G network.
What version are you running.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
I am using version 2.0.5
just tested speed test side by side with my wife's epic 4G and it ran fine on both. Also Speeds were always as good or better on the Epic Touch (FYI).
It wasn't working for me either. I tried FCC Test and it seems to be fine although the layout isn't as purdy
I like speakeasy speed test. Its not an apply but use your internet browser.

Speedtest works normally on my SGS2E4GT, but i have been extremely upset with sprints 3g results on all my family plan phones. I work in Houston, live in suburbs, and I get usually 100-500kbps on average, with bests around 1600kbps on a very good day. 4g however, when in decent signal is above 6000kbps.
Hey guys i'm new to the epic 4g touch coming from the HTC Inspire so bare with me. When I was at home (Chicago suburbs) I could get usually around 1Mbps (give or take) on 3g and around
4Mbps on 4g. I just moved back to school and i'm getting super slow speeds. I get maybe 300Kbps sometimes up to 500Kbps sheen it is 3am on 3g and barely reaching 1.1Mbps on 4g. Although to be fair the 4g is a bit spotty, but my 3g had plenty of signal.
Could this be from my modem and would flashing different modems help? Or would the cause just because the service isn't as great here.

There is no harm in trying a new modem but those 3G speeds are actually pretty good compared to what some are seeing !.
Okay I'll try out a few and see how they do

Is it me, or has the 4G been lost in Tampa? It could just be my phone, but I haven't been able to connect to 4g in over a week.
It was working (at half the speed I usually get) 2 Fridays ago. But, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Tampa scheduled for LTE by the end of the year? If so, they could be working on the towers in your area.

I'm in Tampa as well and there is 4g its just hard to find. I live over in Seminole heights and there is a tower less than a mile from me and I've gotten it but its very weak. My 3g was giving it a run for its money...

If I understand correctly, 4G Wimax towers (owned by Clearwire) should have nothing to do with 3G CDMA / 4G LTE towers (owned by Sprint).
I have to turn 4G off and on a few times to get a decent connection and when I do it disconnects a minute later.. best places I've seen are near USF and on 275 between Westshore Blvd & downtown. Everywhere else sucks. Also I've never once had a good connection indoors

I move around quite frequently and I find a decent amount of areas that have 4g, even in places that you wouldn't think it would be. If your near a Sprint store then most cases there will be 4g available. Inside the Tampa Pitcher Show, across from Sprint store, you can get service inside easily. Places out in Brandon and Valrico as well, in fact I was using 4g yesterday in IHOP out on 60. If LTE is covered as much as the current 4g then I'll be very happy... Oh and I thought I read that it was coming here this summer according to that unofficial sprint build out site. I won't contemplate even getting an LTE phone before then since 4g is so readily available for me, and we know how good the 3g can be at times.....
Noooooooo you guys are all wrong. 4G is there but its just incognito and invisible.
Im just messing.

I was just in Tampa yesterday and got 4G. Also got 4G in St Petersburg also.
is there a way to reset the 4g? for some reason I can't connect to it at all, after a data reset, network refresh, everything I can think of. is it possible to try to change the realm to clearwire instead of sprintpcs?

saint pete, we have full wimax coverage over here
psst a little birdy told me july is when to look for some lte pickin's
So far, the only areas where i've gotten good 4g connections is near downtown, or closer to Oldsmar. I live in T-N-C and 4g is very sparatic (i think i spelled that right )
I have noticed its like that over on the east end of Fowler and Busch.. I'm not to sure why though.

What speed are you going on 4g? I about to sign up for sprint from boost and was thinking s2 or s3. I'm in Baltimore and I know lte isn't here yet so I'm waiting to see. My deposit is 50 bucks and a s2 is $50 and a s3 is $150

My 4G speeds has decreased greatly here in Delaware, I used to be able to get speeds as high as in my sig (10-12mb down on my OG Evo), but since I had my 3D & now this phone its much lower, but right now I'm getting better speeds at home where I used to get horrible speeds as posted in this pic. One more thing, get the GS3 cuz Bmore will have LTE hopefully within the month or sooner.

Are all of you guys on WiMax? Wtf haha... I get like 3.5 Mbps MAX in Chicago
The 4-8 Mbps are 4g speeds. 8Mbps when close to tower. The latest test is from somewhere I never get 4g. Tests in columbus, ohio
Here are mine in St. Paul, MN
Here's my result from 4G testing in Boston:

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
These are mostly from my house out in the burbs or nearby in evening. Also one test is 3g on there. 4g speeds will vary quite a bit. I get lower when I'm in Austin on weekdays.
No more wimax for me but I used to get a good 10-12mbps
But 3g is decent now it was unbearable a month ago

3g is like 200kbps. 4g about 5mbps but kills my battery and makes my phone hot as hell. Sucks. Can't wait till Lte
My life for Aiur
No 4G service here in the USVI. Service has also been horrible lately. About 8-20Kbs during peak hours and 50-90Kbs during off peak hours. It unbearable and makes the smartphone experience suck compared to the continental US. The voice service also sounds like I am under water on over 50% of St. Croix.
